The Lady has an offer.
The Vicar has a Confession.
Lady Madeline Blair is on a mission. Her eccentric
late aunt left her a small fortune with one condition: to claim it, Madeline
must marry by New Year’s Eve…which is now only three weeks away! When she
receives an invitation to spend Christmas at Alcott Hall, she sees this as the
perfect chance to snag herself an unsuspecting beau. She will be generous with
her inheritance, providing him with a comfortable living. All he has to do is
agree never to claim his rights as her husband.
Five years ago, Charles Bray left Finchley and never
looked back. It was too painful to dwell in the past. So, when duty calls him
home, he returns, heart heavy, to a town full of ghosts. Seeking any
distraction, he sparks an unlikely friendship with a quiet young lady who makes
him a surprising offer too good to refuse.
And then there's John...
I so wanted to love this book but Charles irritated
me too much and I wanted Madeline to end up with John. John and her deserved
better than Charles waffling behavior. I also had issue with some modern idioms
being used. I also remember blowing through the other books and this one I kept
putting down. Overall it was just fine.
